"Meng Hongchen is fine, she's just a little overdrawn in her soul power, she'll recover after resting for a while..."
Meng Hongchen did not suffer much damage in the competition. Huo Yuhao used about 60% of his mental energy to release a soul impact. Although it would make someone who had absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring and experienced soul shock for a few seconds, it would not leave any lasting illness.
Instead, what caused Meng Hongchen to fall into overexertion was the level seven defensive soul tool, the Barrier of Resilience.
In order to stop Dai Yueheng's sixth soul skill, White Tiger Annihilation Kill, which was enhanced by three major boosts and fully assisted by Gongyang Mo.
The resilient wall had to exert all its strength to absorb the soul power within Meng Hongchen's body.
As a defensive soul tool, it was designed to absorb soul power at any cost. Although it saved Meng Hongchen's life from this attack, it also depleted Meng Hongchen's soul power.
As for where the overdrawn soul power came from? Soul power isn't like a bank giving you a credit card to overdraw at will, so it's obvious that the overdrawn soul power came from Meng Hongchen himself.
During cultivation, the soul power that had merged into the soul master's body and become part of the soul master's body was brutally extracted and flowed into the tough wall.
This will cause Meng Hongchen's physical condition to decline significantly, and he will need a considerable amount of time to use his soul power to nourish his body in order to recover.
It should be noted that in the original story, it was personally verified that the White Tiger Annihilation Strike under triple amplification was enough to destroy the defense of the Resilient Wall. In this team battle, Gongyang Mo provided additional support.
Even so, the resilient barrier withstood the attack, demonstrating that the defensive measures prepared by the Master of the Red Dust Hall for his precious child were quite effective.
Hearing that Elder Ma said Meng Hongchen was alright, Xiao Hongchen finally felt relieved.
Xiao Hongchen opened and closed his parched lips, murmuring, "It's good that he's not dead...it's good that he's alright..."
There was a moment of silence in the air, as if waiting for Xiao Hongchen to calm down.
After a long while, Xiao Hongchen's calm voice rang out again: "Tell me, what's the current state of my body?"
Even though Xiao Hongchen's energy is not yet sufficient for introspection, the pain emanating from all parts of his body constantly reminds him that his body is on the verge of collapse.
Upon hearing this, the teacher leading the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy stammered, and Elder Ma, unable to bear it any longer, told Xiao Hongchen about his physical condition in detail:
"After testing, your actions of burning yourself out have caused your physical attributes to decline across the board. Not only is your soul power level likely to drop back to level 50, but your physical fitness is even worse than the data you obtained when you were at level 45."
Xiao Hongchen slowly closed his eyes.
Losing a level is not so bad; I can slowly repair it back, and I can also focus on researching soul tools for a while.
As for physical attributes... his future battle strategy involves completely transforming into metal, so a slight decline in physical attributes would at most affect his ability to absorb spirit rings...
This price... is acceptable...
"Besides, because of the rampage of your soul power, even the complete metallization couldn't prevent damage to your meridians. Your meridians were severely damaged by this incident, but because you were in the process of metallization at the time, although your meridians bore enormous pressure, they didn't suffer serious damage. However, now your meridians are..."
"However, your meridians are now so weak that they are not even as strong as those of a Great Soul Master. This means that you can only cultivate at the speed of a Great Soul Master, spending a lot of soul power to replenish your soul power to level 50, and then you must use your soul power to nourish your meridians with all your might."
"Until your meridians are restored, your cultivation level may not advance an inch, and until your meridian strength recovers, the amount of soul power you can output in a single instance will also be limited by the strength of your meridians..."
From the moment a person is born, the strength of their meridians continuously increases. From being tender and fragile in infancy to being able to initially withstand soul power upon awakening, and then slowly increasing with level after starting cultivation.
However, Xiao Hongchen's massive amount of soul power, which he had overdrawn by burning himself, could not be transferred to the soul tool out of thin air. Instead, the liquefied metal actually retained a structure similar to meridians.
The caterpillar undergoing metamorphosis in its cocoon, although its entire body liquefies, still retains basic nerves and some muscles, which is why the cocoon can move. Xiao Hongchen's metallization is similar, which is why Xiao Hongchen's meridians are so severely damaged.
Old Ma waited for a long time but didn't get a response from Xiao Hongchen. He was a little confused, but then he realized that Xiao Hongchen still hadn't spoken.
The teacher in charge suddenly exclaimed, "Teacher Ma... stop talking! Xiao Hongchen has fainted again!"
……
On the second day, Huo Yuhao did not attend the awards ceremony, citing that he was on the verge of a breakthrough. After everyone else left, Huo Yuhao went to the floor of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy alone.
At this moment, all the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were stranded at the hotel, and only the teacher in charge of the team represented the team to attend the award ceremony.
Huo Yuhao knew of Elder Ma's presence, but instead of concealing himself, he swaggered into the conference room that now belonged to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao push open the door and walk in, the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy stood up abruptly in the conference room:
What are you doing here?
Ma Rulong, his face slightly pale, stared warily at Huo Yuhao.
"Relax, what can a second-ring cultivator like me do? Perform a magic trick like making a person disappear?" Huo Yuhao said casually, but his gaze was fixed on Xiao Hongchen.
At this moment, Xiao Hongchen was completely pale and could only sit up with the help of Meng Hongchen.
"Laughing at the world, are you interested in making a deal with me?"
Seeing Xiao Hongchen's weak state, Huo Yuhao was extremely excited.
"A deal?" Xiao Hongchen slowly raised his head and met Huo Yuhao's gaze, wanting to see what Huo Yuhao was planning.
"That's right." Huo Yuhao took out two porcelain bottles from his storage soul tool. "I have two Xuan Shui Pills here. I think you should need these."
"Given the alchemy technology of the Sun Moon Empire, I think there is no shortage of medicines similar to the Mysterious Water Pill, but I believe that no other pill can compare to the Mysterious Water Pill in terms of efficacy."
What are the functions of the Mysterious Water Pill? One is to increase soul power by at least one level, and it can also remove impurities from the body. Besides that, it can only nourish the meridians.
Indeed, Huo Yuhao had been watching Xiao Hongchen's condition closely from the moment he unleashed his full power. Sure enough, Xiao Hongchen paid a heavy price for it, as his meridians shrank considerably after his full power was unleashed.
The Xuan Shui Dan can gently nourish the meridians, giving Xiao Hongchen a good start to his recovery and likely accelerating his speed of healing.
"What do you want?" Xiao Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao's gentle smiling face with a wary expression. He had already seen through his Soul King cultivation level before, but he hadn't expected that the other party could also know about his damaged meridians in time.
Seeing that Xiao Hongchen was planning a deal, Huo Yuhao smiled even more broadly.
